Pharmacy Robber Threatens to Shoot Kroger Staff

Employees at a Kroger pharmacy in Indiana were threatened with their lives during a robbery on March 4, 2015.

Employees at a Kroger pharmacy in Indiana were threatened with their lives during a robbery on March 4, 2015.

The white, male robber, who was around 6 feet tall, arrived at the Kroger and gave a note to a pharmacy employee, who was instructed to give it to the pharmacist on duty, according to The Journal Gazette.

The pharmacist had trouble reading the nearly illegible demands on the note, and the robber grew impatient with her.

According to The Journal Gazette, the robber started yelling at the pharmacist as he waited for her to comply with his demands. He said he would kill her if she did not hurry up.

His note also claimed that he would shoot the pharmacy employees if they did not give him the medications he wanted, which were not identified.

After obtaining the medications, the man ran away from the store. Police dogs were brought in to follow the trail, but they eventually lost track of his scent.

The suspect was described as wearing a camouflage coat with a hood, leather gloves, and a black bandanna with a white design on the front, The Journal Gazette reported.
